Captain Kirk: Everything Harry tells you is a lie. Remember that. Everything Harry tells you is a lie.
Harcourt Fenton Mudd: Now listen to this carefully, Norman. I am… lying.
Norman: You say you are lying, but if everything you say is a lie, then you are telling the truth, but you cannot tell the truth because everything you say is a lie, but you lie… You tell the truth but you cannot for you lie… illogical! Illogical! Please explain! You are human. Only humans can explain their behavior! Please explain!
Captain Kirk: [giving him the same statement the androids have repeatedly given him several times before] I am not programmed to respond in that area.
Okay, what is the point here of this comic, we have been watching this exact thing play out for several weeks now in a couple of high profile trials already with more trials to come.
The point is it addresses a very real and a very Serious concern Americans question… “ can we trust our legal system?”
We hold defense attorneys, DA’s, prosecutors, judges and juries to a higher level—Integrity. Honesty, Sincerity, plus moral and civility are on trial…
Do we really know what is right and wrong or are we just “lip-syncing” sound bites so we appear to be a fair and honest nation?
Legal vs Illegal, which laws are to be followed and which laws are to be ignored… do we truly seek to uphold our laws? Do we bend the rules for some and allow justice, freedom, and righteousness slip from our grasp?
I think the legal system’s statue that represents “blind justices” needs some corrective lenses…

He should have just said “Yes.” once – so it would mean that “Yes – he’s either telling the truth or he’s lying.”
